THE WRECKED SCOTIA.
Her Passengers Taken to
Castle Garden,
WHERE THEY HOWL FOR BREAD
And Become Sick From Eating
RavenOusly After Their
-. Long Fast.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HEaALr
.NEw YORK., March 27.-Five hun
dred and nineteen passengers of the
wrecked Scotia arrived on the sea barge
Haggarty at Castle Garden late this
afternoon. .,,., t,-.s,f.f, l,rfs t....
The scene that followed beggared de-
scription. They rushed into the rotunds
pell-mell, shrieking and bowling for food
like ravenous wolves. They crowdt d
around the lunch tables. climbing
over each other and tramping on
helpless women and children. Uproar
reigned supreme for fully two hours. l.
is customary to register all emigrants
before they enter the rotunda, but the
red tape was broken on this occasion by
subiection. The force of the mass of
people was so great that the officers
who we're stationed to keep order we're
swept aside like straws. The seething
mass could not be restrained. Su.
perintendent Jackson gave orders
10 give them all the foot they
needed and charge it to the COM
missioner of Emigration. Then the
distribution of food began. but it was
impossible to regulate it. Strong men
crowded to the front with uplifted arms
and their eyes starting from their
sockets, crying in Italian, bread! bread.
As the surging mob was utter.
ly uncomfortable, the officers at
the garden began the distribution by
throwing loaves over the heads of
the nearest for the others of the crowd.
Every time loaf was fired into the
crowd. twenty or more scrambled and
in some cases fought 10 get it. This
dry bread was a luxury to them. In a
short time all the food was gone; the
women and children were then
cared for, and milk and beer
added to their portion. The COM
plants of the unfortunate immigrants
were most unfavorable to the company,
and particularly to the Captain
Of the Scotia, the unfortunates
saying they got neither enough
food or water during the voyage. Sew
anty additional passengers, who came by
rail from Patchogue, arrived about 9
o'clock tonight. They were transferred
from Long Island City by the steamerJ. i.
F. Moore. They were even more ravenous
than the others. They were fed at the
full supply of provisions hav-
ing been obtained. Many of the Italians
became sick from eating after their long
fast. Several writhed in agony on the
floor Of the rotunda.

Heavy StOrms-The Owens Mine
-Ready Relief Yielding Well.
Following is an extract from q letter
written by prominent mining man OF
the Julian Mining District to gentle
man in the city who is interested in the
mineral industries of our county:
On account Of the heavy rain and
snow storms of the past month have
lost much time at the mine. 1t will be
two weeks before cut the ledge, the
metaliferous nature of the slate making
progress slow, half foot day being a
good average. am now in vein matter
which is Of high grade ore and is indiea-
tions of near proximity to the mother
lode. The workings referred TO is tun-
mel to tap the ledge at over 400 feet
deep; the ledge above this tunnel has
produced over $3.50, 600 from about 1900
tons of ore, or an average of over $lOO
per ton. st
The Owens mine looks better than
ever before. In the lower level-300
feet deep-the ledge opens out large and
its ore is exceedingly rich. The
Owens boys are in consequence
highly elated. No wonder, for
they have not received any money
for their work in long time; the last
checks that were issued to them were
dishonored in every place. They now
see ore enough of high grade to, pay
them their wages and the back pay.
The bullion yield of the mine has been
forwarded to certain of its owners and
the miners paid in dishonored checks.
1t now seems as if the miners intended
paying themselves out of the mines
workings.
The Ready Relief mine looks splended
The Daily boys are now crushing the
dump of waste ore--that being in the
way--preparatory to running tunnel
TO cut the ledge at great depth; the
waste is yielding $40 per ton.-[San

smalipox I'm New York.

The smallpox appears to be getting Q
pretty firm foothold in the cities of New
York and Brooklyn. There is quite a
number of centers of contagion, and
new cases are constantly being discovered.
The question of declaring the disease
epidemic has been discussed. but the
opinion is that it has not yet reached
the epidemic stage. In view of the
vigorous methods employed to stamp it
out 1t may not reach that age. The
people are being rapidly vaccinated, and
sanitary regulations are being rigidly
enforced.
When it was proposed day or two
ago to declare the disease epidemic it
was stated that such declaration would
cause the city to lose $1,000. 900 worth
of trade week. That statement is
clearly an exaggerated one. The
newspapers publish all the facts
relating. to the progress of the disease,
whether it is declared epidemic or not,
and the public learns nothing new from
an official declaration with regard to it.
If the newspapers were disposed to sup
press the truth the announcement
of the existence. of an epidemic
would serve to inform people of
the extent of the disease. The
policy OF suppression, however, no
longer prevails, even in the smaller
cities. 1t is deemed much the wiser
plan to let the public know what the
truth is in order that they may act in
accordance with their own ideas of their
duty and interests.
Smallpox is difficult disease, before
it becomes epidemic. to deal with. be-
cause of the disposition of those in whose
families it appears to conceal it. They
dislike to cut themselves off from their
friends and acquaintances. In times of
trouble they want sympathy and sup
port more than at any other time, and to
isolate themselves by the announcement
that they cannat be approached with
safety is hard thing for them to do.
Two months more Of cold weather
may be expected in New York, and as
smallpox is cold weather disease it will
claim many victims there if its present
rate of increase is maintained until the
warm weather acts as q check upon it.
The penalty for concealing smallpox
cases ought to be severe one.[-Ex.

to take stock in the enterprise, and one
individual has agreed to donate $500 to

The New England Colony Company
has at last closed the trade for the Berry
ranch, in the Newport district, which
was begun long time since. The tract
contains 1000 acres, and the considera-
ton was 10000. Humphreys & Minter
were the agents for the sale of the prop
erty. and the matter was closed up this
week. A portion of the ranch was sur
veyed and divided into ten and twenty
acre tracts about year ago, and one or
two houses built, water piped, etc. Quite
a number of the colonists will soon arrive
from New England. Some have been
here year. ~
Tho survey of Newport harbor was
finished this week, and we learn that it
is satisfactory and demonstrates that the
harbor can be improved so that vessels
can enter at any and all times. Maps
and tracings have been made of very
explicit character for the information of
the Government authorities. The work
of the survey has been we'll done, and
now it remains to BIZ seen whether Con.
gress will give US an appropriation for
the substantial improvement of this har.
Dor, the only one on the southern coast
with the exception Of San Diego. The
improvement of Newport harbor is OF
the first importance to the great and
rapidly growing Santa Ana valley, des-
tined to be peopled, at no distant day,
with dense population, needing sea
outlet. Even now hundreds of tons of
merchandise are brought in monthly, as
well as thousands of feet of lumber, for
the use of the inhabitants. Every day
enhances the Importance of Newport,
and the time is not far in the future
when line of railroad will connect the
town of Santa Ana with the port and it
will then be in addition a summer resort.
A strong pressure must be brought to
bear upon the next Congress to obtain
an appropriation for improvement.

A FRIGHTFUI ACCIDENT.
M. wager Cut im Pieces by q
switch Engine.

Switch Engine.
| Yesterday afternoon another horrible
accident occurred q short distance from
the Southern Pacific freight depot.
Abopt 8 o'clock in the afternoon M.
Yager, a teamster for brick yard here,
was run over and killed BY q switch en-.
glne and two flat cars. The unfortunate
man was about to leave this city for Or
egon, and there seems to be but little
doubt but be lost his life through his
own carelessness. 1t appears, from a
statement made by witnesses, that the
engine was backing down the track TO-
ward the freight depot and was pre-.
cecded by two fiat cars. A street car,
on which the unfortunate man was rid
ing, was rather near the track, and some
of the passengers becoming afraid
jumped of. Yager jumped on the
wrong side, on to the track, and was
knocked down by the fat car. When
the Mortified people who witnessed the
accident ranto his aid, it was found that
the wheels of the two cars and the
locomotive had cut his body
iDto several pieces, strewing them several
feet apart. The engine was stopped %
soon as possible, bat the unfortunate
mans leap was SO sudden that neither
the brakeman nor the engineer had time
to apply the brakes before the man was
knocked down. Had he remained on
the street car Is did most of the pas.
sengers, there would have been no &C.
cident.
Another account of the accident was
that Wager was on his way to the depot
on foot, and seeing the train backing
down the track hurried up to cross, but
. street car coming between him and the
crossing, he jumped on the wrong side
and was knocked down by the fiat car.
Whichever way the accident occurred it
appears that the trainmen were not to
blame in the matter. The bell Of the
engine was riugiug, as Is customary. and
the train was going at the ordinary slow
rate of speed when crossing the streets.
The remains were taken in charge by
Coroner Meredith, and an inquest will
be held this morning. When they were
lid out on a slab it was eviden that
there was hardly part of the body, ex-
cept the head, which had not been in.
jured by the wheels. Officer Botello ar.
rested the engineer, J. A. Heinman, and
W. R. Smith, the fireman, and Morris
Thompson, the brakeman. They were
charged with manslaughter, but were re.
leased in their own cognizance upon the
application of Gen. e. E. Hewitt, Divi-
sion superintendent, who said he would
